WANDAVISION: Some Clues From The First Two Episodes Seemingly Confirm Agnes' Real Identity

WandaVision has spawned a million fan theories since hitting Disney+ on Friday, but there are some compelling clues in those first two episodes which may reveal who nosy neighbour Agnes really is...

Filed Under: WandaVision

WandaVision is clearly going to be a series that leaves us with lots to talk about each week (that will certainly be the case after next week's instalment, trust us), but one mystery, at least, may now have been solved.

Kathryn Hahn plays nosy neighbour Agnes in the Disney+ series, and there's been speculation for a while now that she is, in fact, Agatha Harkness. An ally to the Scarlet Witch in the comic books, she's also someone with ties to the Fantastic Four, Mephisto, and Wanda's children.

Beyond the name, there have already been hints that Agnes and Agatha are one and the same. Her broach, for example, bears a resemblance to the one from the source material, while we've even seen her dressed as a witch in later episodes. What's the significance of Señor Scratchy, though? That's the rabbit Agnes lends to Wanda in episode two, but there may be more to it than that.

In the comics, Agatha's son is Nicholas Scratch. An enemy of the Fantastic Four and Doctor Strange, he's by no means an A-Lister, but is it possible Agnes is helping a greater power because her son has been trapped in the body of an animal? That would be weird, thought it might go some way towards explaining her role in all this (especially as she's not typically a villain on the page).

Agnes' M.I.A. husband Ralph is also generating some discussion online, with many WandaVision fans wondering whether "Ralph" is, in fact, Mephisto.

It's hard to say for sure, but we think you'll agree that the signs do appear to be pointing to Agnes being more than just a nosy neighbour! How Marvel Studios will make use of Agatha Harkness remains to be seen, but it seems she could be portrayed in either a heroic or villainous light.

Click on the "Next" button below to check out 10
must-read Scarlet Witch and The Vision comic books!

10. West Coast Avengers #45

Like his MCU counterpart, The Vision has "died" quite a few times in the comic books. One noteworthy demise came during John Byrne's classic West Coast Avengers run, but he was soon brought back to life, albeit with a different look to the one fans were used to seeing.

With no memories or "emotions," this greyed out Vision was cold, calculating, and far from his old self.

Now acting like a typical, unfeeling robot, the romance between him and the Scarlet Witch ended here, and there's a lot from this specific issue that could factor into WandaVision. Don't forget, the Vision who had the Mind Stone torn from his head in Avengers: Infinity War was similarly greyed out.

9. Ultimate Vision

This is one story we're not anticipating factoring too heavily into WandaVision, but it's worth your time.

In the Ultimate Universe, Vision - portrayed in female form - comes to the planet to warn Earth's Mightiest Heroes of the threat Gah Lak Tus poses to them. She didn't stick around for long, but this storyline offers a fascinating glimpse into how the character could be used moving forward. After all, if the version we're used to doesn't survive the series, perhaps we'll get something as different as this?

Vision has a habit of returning in different forms, and this Vision shouldn't be confused with the one the Ultimate version of Hank Pym created as an assistant alongside a robot he named "Ultron."

8. Darker Than Scarlet

Another John Byrne classic, the "Darker Than Scarlet" storyline in the pages of West Coast Avengers was the first place we got a real taste of the Scarlet Witch's madness. Of course, you'd probably be left feeling pretty unhinged too if you learned what Wanda did during this tale.

Learning that her twins were created by Mephisto and torn from her so he could restore the missing parts of his soul, poor Wanda starts losing the plot. Throw in the fact that her husband, The Vision, was now emotionless, and it's no wonder she teamed up with Magneto again.

Immortus was later revealed to be responsible for her actions, and given Kang's impending arrival in the MCU, it's hard not to wonder whether we could see something similar play out on screen.

7. Avengers: The Children Crusade

Avengers: The Children's Crusade confirmed that Speed and Wiccan were the reincarnated versions of Wanda's children, while also revealing that Doctor Doom played a role in her descent into madness.

The story of the Scarlet Witch and her children in the MCU is undeniably convoluted; Wanda unknowingly used her powers to create them, unaware that she was tapping into two pieces of Mephisto's soul. After the villain was (briefly) destroyed, the souls of each child inhabited two real kids.

It's really here that Wanda's relationship with her two superhero children is established, so if you're curious about what that looked like on the page, this is the perfect storyline to delve into.

6. Giant-Size Avengers #4

Trailers have confirmed that the Scarlet Witch and Vision are married in WandaVision, so you should definitely head back to Giant-Size Avengers #4 to delve into the comic book version.

Despite there being a lot of detractors to their relationship, the two Avengers ignored the doubters and had a double wedding with Mantis and Swordsman. Kang the Conqueror (a character with an unusual number of ties to Wanda Maximoff) showed up to cause chaos, but they ended up tying the knot.

We're not anticipating seeing a wedding like this on the small screen, but this is a great comic to check out for those of you keen on delving into the history of this marriage on the page.

5. The Vision

Tom King's critically acclaimed run on The Vision is likely where Marvel Studios got the idea to place the android and his wife, the Scarlet Witch, in the blissful setting of a classic suburban neighbourhood.

In this storyline, Vision created a wife and two kids, and tried to live a normal life. His attempt at being human didn't exactly go to plan, though, and this series also dealt with the fallout from his marriage to the Scarlet Witch. This series did a great job exploring what it means to be "alive," and it was interesting seeing The Vision make some of the same mistakes as his creator, Ultron.

This is a must-read, and a great solo series revolving around this fan-favourite android superhero.

4. Young Avengers

After The Vision was destroyed by She-Hulk (we'll get to that), a new version was created by Iron Lad.

While this new Vision technologically superior to the original, he lacked his predecessor's maturity. One of the main reasons was because his brain patterns were based on Iron Lad instead of Wonder Man's, and considering the fact Iron Lad was actually Kang the Conqueror before he became Kang the Conqueror (time travel!), it's no wonder the Avengers weren't sure to trust him.

He proved himself a hero, though, and was ultimately destroyed by his creator. Separate to the main Vision, it's entirely possible Marvel Studios will head down this route. After all, it's clear the Young Avengers are going to assemble in the MCU at some point in the not too distant future.

3. Avengers Disassembled

"Avengers Disassembled" was an end of an era for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and it saw the team go up against all manner of threats. All of those were created by the Scarlet Witch's reality-altering abilities, and it was this storyline which put her on the map as an absolute powerhouse in the MCU.

One particularly shocking moment saw Wanda manipulate She-Hulk into losing control and tearing her husband, The Vision, in two. That was the end of him for a while, and proof that this hero had fully lost the plot...and that not even the Avengers were powerful enough to stop her in her tracks.

This could be in the MCU version's future, and we might just see Wanda turn on her fellow heroes like this.

2. Avengers #58

Avengers #58 confirmed that, yes, even an android can cry. This issue proved there was more to The Vision than being just an unfeeling robot, something we're likely to see play out in WandaVision.

Earth's Mightiest Heroes put their new teammate to the test to make sure he was a worthy addition to the team, and he was ultimately accepted into their ranks. After gaining membership of the Avengers, The Vision let just one tear fall down his cheek, our first sign that there was more to him than meets the eye.

This is a special moment in the history of the character, and a great way to learn more about his past.

1. House Of M

At the end of "Avengers Disassembled," Magneto took his daughter back to Genosha, and so it's no great surprise that Wolverine assumed the Master of Magnetism was responsible for her creation of a new reality in House of M. Instead, it was her brother, Pietro, who manipulated the Scarlet Witch.

Using her reality altering powers to create a world where mutants were the dominant species, it looked like the X-Men had finally caught a break. However, it was humans who suffered in this world.

Ultimately, Wolverine managed to restore the memories of his fellow heroes, and they set out to make things right. Wanda, distraught at what had happened to her, uttered the words "No More Mutants," and millions of them were left depowered. Only hundreds of mutants remained, but could WandaVision see this hero do the opposite, and create the MCU's mutant nation?

Man, I reeeeeeeally hope Mephisto ends up being in this. I also hope we see him again down the line if he is. He's a villain that is far past due an appearance in the MCU.

marvel72 - 1/17/2021, 7:16 AM

@CorndogBurglar - I think there is a magazine cover in the show that has an article in it with Mephisto name on the cover.

I also liked in the bewitched opening credits there is a a advertisement on the wall that has a cow on it with the name Mavo milk.
Which is the connection to the hybrid human/cow nanny of The High Evolutionary.

CorndogBurglar - 1/17/2021, 7:18 AM

@marvel72 - Its Bova Milk. But yes, I saw that.

ElvenKingSlayer - 1/17/2021, 7:19 AM

@marvel72 - and next to it Agnes cat liter with a black cat;)

marvel72 - 1/17/2021, 7:28 AM

@CorndogBurglar - is it, my bad but yeah glad you caught it.

marvel72 - 1/17/2021, 7:30 AM

@ElvenKingSlayer - Yup and an ad for Wonder Oats, could be connected to Wonder Man.

Her Black Cat Ebony can transform into a super bad ass demonic cat.

marvel72 - 1/17/2021, 7:35 AM

@CorndogBurglar - The guy coming out of the drain cover could be another hint at Mephisto.

They may well be bees flying around him but Mephisto is also known as Lord Of Flies.

Also him coming out of the sewers could be like him coming up from Hell.

LSHF - 1/17/2021, 12:51 PM

@CorndogBurglar - There is an image of what looks like him on a wall behind two characters in the upcoming Loki series (see the trailer).

aresww3 - 1/18/2021, 6:05 PM

@CorndogBurglar - - i thought she might be Mojo the x-men villain whose behind the tv universe.

WakandanQueen - 1/17/2021, 7:10 AM

Agnes mentioning her husband Ralph all the time reminded me of my friend in high school when she was in the closet and talked about her nonexistent boyfriend so that she didn't look sus

Blergh - 1/17/2021, 7:15 AM

If Mephisto is in this I'll lose my sh*t. This would be SOOOO awesome

Kumkani - 1/17/2021, 7:22 AM

Her pet rabbit was called 'Señor Scratchy'. Can be translated to 'Mr. Scratchy'.

Mr. Scratch is another pseudonym for the Devil. So either that's an easter egg or that rabbit is literally Mephisto.

Repian - 1/17/2021, 7:33 AM

If Nicholas Scratch appears in his human form in an episode of the season and Doctor Strange visits "Sitcom World", it would be great to see Strange fighting Scratch. That would be perfect.

Joshd2212 - 1/17/2021, 8:12 AM

@Repian - I definitely think Strange will show up towards the end. When they did a group interview on Marvels twitter, they took questions from fans who turned out to Hiddlestone and Mackie, along with Cumberbatch, could be because of Dr Strange 2, but it made me think he will show up

LSHF - 1/17/2021, 12:54 PM

@Repian - You want to see Doctor Strange fight a rabbit? LOL. Just kidding.
